Lucy had not planned to be spending the rest of the flying lesson in the hospital wing with Natsu- He had fallen off his broom after getting motion sickness. 

Madame Aries didn't seem to be so shocked to see students in the hospital wing so early in the year, this made Lucy feel a bit weary of the health and safety of Hogwarts students.

"He's just had a bad fall, but he'll be fine in a few hours... it's good that you brought him here so early... how did this happen again?"

"He fell off his broom."

"Don't say it like that Lucy! It wasn't just like that... it wasn't my fault it was my motion sicknesses fault!"

"But your motion sickness is part of you."

"..."

Madame Aries took a step back with a small smile.

'I'll be in my office if you need me..."

Lucy thanked her, and Natsu internally because she did not want to be on that broom right now. It was downright terrifying.

"I can't believe we have to be here when Gray is still outside!"

"You're the one that fell off your broom Natsu!"

"I already told you it wasn't my fault!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next few months went by smoothly. Lucy attended her lessons with Natsu and Gray and became closer to Cana who was not actually shy at all. She would talk to Levy as often as possible and she could now even consider Erza as one of her best friends here at Hogwarts. The Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's were friendly and Lucy didn't involve herself in any Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalries.

Classes were nothing like she'd ever experienced before. Charms was her best subject but she was also very good at Transfiguration. Natsu only fell off his broom 2 more times (they only had 2 more lessons) and Gray hadn't stripped in the past 25 minutes.

The Christmas holidays were arriving and Lucy still did not know where to go. She had all her gifts sorted, chocolate frogs for Natsu, Gray and Erza and a pack of cards for Cana because she was learning how to do many tricks lately and Levy was going to receive her favourite book. 

"Are you staying for the Christmas break Lucy?"

Lucy looked up to see Erza looking at her curiously.

"I'm not sure... but I guess I am because I don't think I'll be welcome home..."

"oH! That's great! I mean it isn't great that you're not welcome home but... Natsu, Gray, myself and some of our other friends are staying behind too!" 

Lucy felt herself positively beam inside, she was definitely staying behind now! 

"That's... amazing!! I was worried I was going to be all alone..."

"We wouldn't let you stay behind Lucy..."

"Thank you so much Erza!"

"o-Oh... yes. It's okay...?"

Lucy felt herself much happier for the rest of the night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The rest of the school days came and went and soon most of the school had left on their Christmas break.

The only Gryffindor students left were Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Bisca and Alzack... all of the first years and Erza. Erza told her that Bisca and Alzack stayed behind so they could hang out.

The commons were practically empty now and Lucy was able to get her favourite chair by the fireplace whenever she wanted which was absolutely amazing.

Sometimes Natsu and Gray would join her, mostly to ask for assistance with homework (Natsu) and to argue with Natsu (Gray). Erza would then tell them to go bicker somewhere else and let Lucy study in peace which she would be very thankful for (even if deep down Lucy did find their arguments making her feel like she was at home.)

The Gryffindors mainly kept to themselves until one day Erza decided that they needed some inter house interactions and that she would be taking them all to the Great Hall where they would have a friendly conversation with the Hufflepuffs. 

"Who said you were in charge?" Gray had yelled at her,

Erza only simply told him that she was the oldest and most mature with a death glare that sent him packing and Natsu into a fit of giggles.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Great Hall was beautiful at this time of the year. The Christmas spirit filled the air and wreaths were hung on doors and Peeves had even gotten some mistletoe to pop out every now and again. 

The first Hufflepuff that greeted them was a girl with white hair in a high ponytail and a purple bow. (Lucy thought she was very pretty.) Erza seemed to recognise her and the air went icy even though both of them would deny it.

"I guess we are all lonely without the whole school here... so this will have to be done! I'm Mirajane Strauss and this,"

She stepped back so that she was in line with a shorter boy with the same shade of hair and a shy but goofy smile.

"Is my younger brother Elfman."

"..hi! I already know them big sis, they all seem to be first years..."

Mira's eyes widened.

"Wow Erza, you have your hands full this year... what if you can't handle it?"

Erza just gave her a sweet smile before looking at the other group of students behind her.

"I could say the same for you." 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It wasn't what Lucy had expected, they didn't really interact with the Hufflepuffs. They just interacted with the Strauss siblings... a girl with light blue hair who Lucy knew as Yukino, did look up and smile at her... but then she just resumed working on whatever she was writing on her parchment with her friend who seemed to be sewing some sort of doll.

"Erzaaaaaaa I'm boreeddddddd"

"Natsu stop."

"Don't be so cruel to the fireboy Erza!" Mira said with feigned horror.

Lucy just watched in amusement... they all seemed to know each other...
